Electric scooters have come a long way from those wimpy urban commuters, and Solar Scooters is pushing the envelope even further. Yesterday, on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, the Los Angeles-based company dropped their latest creation: the Hyperion RST. This isn't just any e-scooter—it's the second-generation evolution of their best-selling Hyperion hyperscooter, and it looks like they've cranked everything up to eleven.
For those unfamiliar, Solar Scooters is the innovative team behind hits like the Solar E-Clipse 2.0 and the P1 Pro, known for blending high-performance engineering with sleek, futuristic designs. Designed right here in Los Angeles, California, the Hyperion RST builds on the original Hyperion's foundation but packs a host of upgrades that make it faster, tougher, and more feature-packed than ever.
Let's dive into what makes this thing a standout in the growing world of high-speed electric personal mobility.
Power and Performance That'll Blow You Away
At the heart of the Hyperion RST are dual 5,000W performance motors, delivering a staggering 12,000W peak output. That translates to a blistering top speed of 70 mph—yes, you read that right, highway-capable speeds on a scooter. Paired with a 72V 40Ah 50S battery sourced from Samsung and a robust 60Ah controller, this beast promises up to 75 miles of range on a single charge, depending on your riding style and conditions.
Riders can choose from five speed modes to dial in the experience, whether you're cruising city streets or pushing limits on open paths. And for control freaks, there's an upgraded thumb throttle with higher degrees of freedom for more precise acceleration—because who wants jerky starts when you're hitting those speeds?
Built Tough for the Real World
Solar isn't skimping on durability. The Hyperion RST is crafted from CNC'd aircraft-grade aluminum, giving it a lightweight yet bombproof frame. It's IP67-rated, meaning it can handle dust, splashes, and even brief submersion without skipping a beat—perfect for those unexpected rain showers or dusty trails.
Braking is equally serious: quad-piston hydraulic brakes provide massive stopping power, supplemented by regenerative braking that feeds energy back into the battery for extended range. Safety features like a bright LED headlight and integrated indicators ensure you're visible day or night.
Futuristic Flair with the Tron Deck 2.0
One of the coolest additions is the new Tron Deck 2.0. This fully programmable LED lighting system illuminates the deck and stem in up to 10 million colors, controllable via an included remote. It's not just for show—though it'll definitely turn heads—but it adds a layer of customisation and visibility that's straight out of a sci-fi flick.
Charging and Practicality
Keeping things user-friendly, the RST comes with dual charge ports and a 5A fast charger included in the box. That means quicker top-ups and less downtime. Plus, Solar backs it with a solid 2-year warranty, giving buyers peace of mind.
Availability and Final Thoughts
The Hyperion RST is available for pre-order starting today, with shipments slated for the end of December. If you're in the market for an electric scooter that blurs the line between personal transport and adrenaline machine, this could be your next obsession. Solar Scooters continues to impress with their focus on performance and innovation—keep an eye on them as the EV space heats up.
